Failed Experiment

Chapter 2: Meeting a new Enemy?
Robin swiftly went into the shadows the second he stepped outside. Leaving poor Devi out in the open, she looked around clueless of what to do next. "UmmDevi?" She smiled towards the person that spoke to her.
"Yes Robin?" There was a short moment of silence.
"UhhhI think you need to follow my lead," he said with a dull but amused voice.
Devi cracked her knuckles, and jumped high in the air over Robin. He was somewhat impressed, but he would have to wait to see what she could truly do. As they made it to their destination, Robin stopped and that meant Devi did too. She looked at him with confusion. "What's up?"
He glanced at her, "I'm sorry but you should stay here."
A pout formed on her lips. "Why!?!"
Sighing, he began to chuckle at her expression, "I know what I'm doing, you have to remember that you were asleep for almost a decade. Things has changed over the years."
Throwing her hands up in the air she gave an exasperated sigh, "Jeez why do you hafta sound soooo right!?! I want to go too" Robin laughed lightly and slipped through an opening he made with a laser gun. Devi frowned and slid on the ground, while leaning against the wall. She waited, and waited, and waited"ARG!!! WHERE IS HE!?!"
"YOU THERE!!" Came a voice from above. Devi looked up and noticed four figures. They all hopped/flew down to stand in front of her, when she didn't even budge from her spot. They all looked at her with suspicion. The one who spoke earlier was a big fellow that looked like he was part machine. "What are you doing in a place like this!?!"
"UmmI'm waiting for someone." She said with an innocent voice. The Titans looked at each other with confused looks.
The one in green turned towards the dark looking one, "Is she the one that's robbing the place."
"Titans! Huddle!" All for of them huddled together like in football. Devi just sat there confused, but then she began to giggle. This caught the Titans attention. "What are you giggling for!?!"
She stopped giggling but was still smiling brightly. "I get it! You must be the good guys! I was told about you!" Confused looks went all around, and then landed back on Devi. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself how rude of me. My name is"
"DEVI!!" Someone shouted from above.
"Hey, I can introduce myself you know," she pouted. Robin landed in front of her and glared at her. She was a bit shocked to see him look at her like that. "What's wrong Robin?" The Titans jumped and got in a fighting position. "What's going on here?"
He did not stop looking at her like that, he turned around and face the Titans, "Ask questions later! First we need to fight our way out!" He jumped at Cyborg and started attacking. Devi just stood there not knowing what to do. This girl with long reddish hair and green eyes came towards Devi.
"You will not leave here unless you are going to the city prison!"
"But I haven't done anything wrong." The girl didn't appear to hear her. Her fists and eyes began to glow bright green, as she lunged at Devi. Devi made a yelp, as she barely dodged the assault. "Wah! Watch that thing!! You could hurt someone!"
She threw another energy blast at Devi, "It is what I plan to do!!" While fighting the other three Titans Robin noticed the trouble that Devi was going through.
"Fight back Devi!!" Robin said as he jumped over a green tiger that charged at him.
Devi had this look on her face that confused Robin, she nodded slowly. "If that's what you want me to do." He blinked in confusion. But then noticed he noticed that Devi began to glow a bright white, she extended her arms and put her head back and closed her eyes. The three Titans and Robin stopped their fight to see what was going on. The sky became cloudy, and thunderstorms began to emit from it.
"It cries my name," Devi said in a hushed voice. She floated about ten feet above the ground. Lightning streaked near the red head. She yelped and began to fly around dodging the many lightning bolts aiming for her. Once she got close to Devi she punched her, and the thunderstorm began to disappear, but Devi kept her ground. Or her spot in the air; her eyes were glossed over.
"Come on Star!! You can do it!!" Shouted Cyborg. The other Titans except for the Dark one cheered their comrade on. She turned towards Robin.
"Why are you doing this Robin," she asked him.
"RavenI'm sorry" He quickly took something out of his belt and threw it on the ground. Smoke abruptly was spread everywhere, the Titans coughed and tried to see through all the smoke. Meanwhile Robin made his way towards Devi and Star whom doing some fist to fist combat, plus powers. Starfire with her light in her fists, but what made Robin curious was that Devi's hands were blazing with a fiery look. He threw something at Star that opened up to some sort of latch device.
"Ah!" She fell to the ground, while Devi just floated there. She looked down at Robin and closed her eyes and went into unconsciousness. Falling from the sky about to hit the cement ground. But Robin intervened, he caught her and began to run away. Once the cloud of smoke disappeared thanks to a huge green bird that flapped its wings, Robin and the other girl were gone.
The bird turned back into a human shape, "Well now what do we do? Robin has like some REALLY powerful sidekick! With this weird powers!" He yelled at the others while waving his arms around frantically.
Starfire had managed to escape the contraption and walked over to them, "She was indeed very strong. I was trying with all my might, and it looked like she was just getting started. But then there was the fact that her powers seemed unstable."
Cyborg raised an eyebrow, "Unstable?"
Raven sighed, "You big oaf, couldn't you tell there was something wrong with her powers?" Cyborg scratched his head with one of his metallic fingers. Raven rolled her eyes and turned to the green dude. "Beast Boy, please tell me you see it too?"
He looked a bit confused, hehee make that totally lost, "Uhhhh.what am I supposed to see?" Raven sighed and shook her head at the two of them.
"You two are hopeless," She began to fly in the air, "I'm going to just fly around for a while. I assume you all are going back to the Tower?" Everyone nodded. She looked one last glance at the group. They looked so lost, are they really that helpless without Robin they're with them? She pushed that at the back of her mind as she flew away.
*******
Robin ran into the building, worry expressed on his face as he held the girl close to him protectively. "SLADE!!!!" He heard an awful laughter, as his 'master' appeared out of the shadows. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH DEVI!?!?!" Slade merely chuckled and ushered him to follow him. Robin did so, he found themselves in a lab.
"Put her on the table," Slade ordered. Robin gently put her on the table, Slade pressed a few buttons on a near by computer, and a light emitted and seemed to scan Devi. Data came to life on the screen. "Well, all I have to say is that she did better than before. Last time she nearly wiped out a whole city."
"Master, what is going on!?!" Slade stared at Robin with mild surprise that he called him master.
"Since you asked so nicely, I'll tell you. Devi is a person with remarkable ability with nature. She controls the major elements, such as Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind. Such power is amazing, and it's all packed into one being. Its too bad that most of the procedures I put her through failed. I was hoping that after years it would heal itself, but it seems that you need something else to heal this. So she's still just a failed experiment to me."
Robin scowled at Slade, "You are a disgrace to humanity. To do something like that to living being!" Slade just laughed and walked out of the room leaving Robin and Devi. He walked up to her and took her hand. "Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on." He went into storage and got a blanket, he then placed on her so she wouldn't get cold. He then left to his own room.
****In the early morning*****
Devi opened her eyes and groaned. She sat, the blanket that was around her fell to her lap. She looked at it, "Where's Robin? He's probably in his room. Which means" she smiled and slid off the table and ran down the halls. Once she got to the entrance door, she leaned toward the button and made it look like she accidentally pressed it. "Well what do you know? The door just opened by itself I better do a patrol to see the suspicious activity." Not wasting anymore time, she bolted out into the streets of the busy city.
It was pretty early in the morning so there wasn't many people about. She smiled brightly and let the sun soak up her face. Quickly making sure no one was looking she swiftly climbed up one of the tall buildings, and just sat on top it for whom knows how long. She was in a peaceful trance, but it was interrupted when something tingled at her senses. "I didn't expect to meet you here so soon."
Devi turned around and saw the Teen Titan Robin called 'Raven' floating only about four feet away from her.
